Okay, so I just finished a custom character sheet, and I was wondering if anyone out there on the interwebs was willing to give me some feedback. This is the first major sheet design I've done, and the first to be shared with the world at large.
I would like to thank the Mad Irishman, since I took elements from his sheet designs and incorporated them into this one.
Positive and negative feedback is welcome, I just ask that any negative feedback be accompanied with suggestions on how to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance
The sheet can be found at:

I like the sheet, especially the little blurbs for torches and rations and such. The only thing I don't like? The font. Could you post one with a more ... stick-ish... font? Like Calibri or Times New Roman or Arial something similar to that rather than the bubbly letters. It seems to be a sheet I would use myself, if the font were a bit more readable! :)
Edit: On second perusing - the font isn't as bad as I originally thought. I'm printing out a copy to do a test run.
Some more points I must say that I really liked was the reference points for everything, the feat boxes, the summon monster page, the spellbook pages.
Another question is the combat section. Could you explain how the Melee bar (with the multiple attack section) works, please? :)
Are you referring to the melee/ranged/cmb section? The multiple attacks block is simply where you can put what your attack bonus is with the cumulative -5 penalty. Or another way to look at it is that it allows you to put the +20/+15/+10/+5 style attack bonus (plus modifiers) you receive when your base attack bonus equal 6 or higher. This is most useful for those who multiclass.
And, yeah, the front could be changed, but it means selecting every location there's text, and changing them all individually. Personally, I think the font works nicely, has a "chalkboard" feel to it.
I think it's just the "Total" block that confuses me in the Melee section. The rest of it makes sense (like I assume the A B C and D are different classes, perhaps).
Total means exactly that: the total off all the attack bonus modifiers (class base attack bonuses, Str mod, size modifier, etc.) Ignoring the multiple attack block, and adding everything else together, that's what you put in the total block: it's the total attack bonus before any bonuses from the weapon being used.
Okay, so after receiving some feedback, I've made some changes to the sheet, and changed its host location

Nice, but one of the reasons I create an excel sheet on my tablet instead of using one of these custom 'on paper' sheets is that they frequently don't represent classes like the Monk, the magus or the bard and various other classes. If you are playing a generic class like a Fighter or a Wizard, then this will work fine.
Looks good..that font is wonky though. It does have a campy charm...but i think it would look better in a different font.

This was just an universal sheet to judge how well the style & design was received. However. I did try to provide enough space on the sheets so all pertinent information could be written down (I actually jot down a small description after each ability myself.)

The font does look a bit odd in the pdf but in print it does have a nicer look. There have been a few comments on the font, but tbh, I like the handwritten feel, and I think the script font is appropriate for a sheet that you are going to be writing on anyway.
And, it would be a painstaking task in tediousness to go and find another font, and swap each text box over, resize, reposition, etc.
Not to mention that everyone has font styles they love, and font styles they hate, making it impossible to find any stylized font that appeals to everyone (and the common prepackaged fonts are too mundane and overused for my taste).
